A wild video has been released showing a shootout on Bourbon Street between police and New Orleans terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar. New Year's celebrants are seen running for their lives as gunshots ring out in the French Quarter.
“Oh my god! One hell of a man is dead,” a videographer shouted as he filmed the white Ford pickup truck Jabbar had rented after it crashed into a construction vehicle on a busy street early Wednesday morning.
